One of the best things about Monday Night Football in recent years? Those delightful computer-generated animations that weave in pop culture references and actual intriguing stats about the teams involved.
There was the Bills and Home Alone. There was Joe Flacco the dancing raven. And so much more.
Although it wasn’t a Monday night, we got a new one that fans loved on Thursday for the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks.
It was an animation showing how the Seahawks’ defense went from Legion of Boom to Legion of Blah, with head coach Pete Carroll getting pelted with fish like he was at Pike Place Market:
This is amazing
